Prison officers at HMP Nottingham told to walk out in protest over conditions

Prison officers at HMP Nottingham have been advised to walk out in protest after a damning report warned of a ‘dangerous lack of control’ at a prison in Bedford, their union has said.

Members of the Prison Officers Association, the trade union for prison staff, were asked to demonstrate outside prisons in England and Wales - including Nottingham - at 7am “until instructed otherwise”.

It comes after Nottinghamshire Live revealed HMP Nottingham was one of two in the county to get a share of £10m from the Ministry of Justice to tackle ongoing issues with drugs, poor conditions and mobile phones inside struggling jails.

And work is underway to create a day care unit dedicated to supporting prisoners with mental health needs at the Perry Road prison, following the deaths of five inmates last year - four of which were suicides.

Police launch knife crime amnesty in Nottinghamshire - and blades can be handed in with 'no questions asked'

One of Nottinghamshire’s most senior police officers has made a vital plea to people carrying a knife: Hand them in with ‘no questions asked’.

Assistant Chief Constable Kate Meynell, of Nottinghamshire Police, has called on families, friends and relatives to help them take blades off Nottinghamshire streets, by encouraging anyone thought to be in possession to deposit the weapons safely and anonymously in any of its 13 red knife bins around the county.

She said: “You can simply go to wherever it is and literally post it through the top of the bin, no questions asked, and leave.

“The reasoning behind that is we’re trying to get rid of knives and weapons that people perhaps have got that they shouldn’t have and have been concerned previously about handing them in. We encourage people to bring things in and there will be no questions asked.

“They are predominately in police premises, that’s around the risk assessment. You are obviously going to get a lot of people disposing of knives and we need to make sure that the bins are secure and there’s no risk of anybody getting hold of them.”

A look at the weather

Traffic update

Traffic is slow on a number of roads this morning:

- A6075 Abbott Road: The A6075 Abbott Road is closed in both directions. Traffic monitoring site Inrix says it is closed because of an earlier accident believed to have happened near the B6014 Skegby Lane.

- M1, both directions: There are narrow lanes, speed restrictions of 50 mph and delays expected due to major work to convert the M1 to ‘all lanes running’ in both directions between junction 23a for the A42 and junction 25 for the A52 Brian Clough Way (Nottingham/Derby).
